This song was running through my mind in my dream that woke me up at 1:05 am:
His Design
(From the 1984 Not of the World Seminary Soundtrack)
There’s so much fear inside
So much I want to hide
I’m tired of all the lonely shame
No I can’t go on all my strength is gone
Could someone understand
And love me anyway?
I wonder, could I share the pain?
But I don’t know who I dare tell this to
Oh how can I face it,
And where is the love that could
Fill the dark corners with light?
And then, if I face it,
Is forgiveness on the way?
Can I make my life new? Is the miracle true?
I found that someone cares
And the Savior’s waiting there,
If he can love me surely I
Can have faith in me, be all I want to be
He sees beyond my eyes
And tells me I can rise,
He offers me the power divine
To erase the stain to be whole again
Oh yes! I can face it,
I know with his love
I can fill the dark corners with light!
And now as I face it,
Repentance paves the way
To make my life new, yes, the miracle’s true
Tomorrow waits for me
And now at last I’m free
I follow one who knows the way
And it’s His design that my life should shine
With joy; with joy.
